I have never heard a good argument against installing multilib and you can't switch short of starting over once you have a system set up.. so I would recommend multilib unless you are building a dedicated appliance with very limited storage.

ahoy all,

upgrading to a new machine for audio work, and it is Core 2 Duo-based, thus Gentoo amd64. just wondering if it is better to install this as a multilib or no-multilib? i have searched and found posts going either way, but they are a bit dated. most, if not all, of the apps in the overlay are available at least ~amd64. are there any reasons not to run a no-multilib system? specifically, for performance and compatibility with audio apps? also, i have never used a VST, so they are not a big issue for me.

thanks in advance.

peace, w
